“Right now, we’re optimistic about the air show industry’s ability to reopen and recover from COVID-19,” Wells continued. “We are actively working with air show planners and we will have more details in the coming weeks regarding Doc’s tour plans for the remainder of 2021. Our team continues to work through the final stages of our planned winter maintenance period at our hangar in Wichita and remains committed to carrying out Doc’s mission of honoring our nation’s heroes and past generations by taking our B-29 to air shows and tours for people to get an up-close and personal look at this magnificent machine.”
